Reply to their posts. Interact with them on a friendly but professional level. If you met their kids, ask how the kids are doing. <strong>Ask specific questions about them<\/strong>, such as how baseball is going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>If you don&#8217;t know enough about your clients to ask stuff like that, you should get to know your clients better.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important thing is to <strong>respond to anything sent to you from clients<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll need to log in to your accounts frequently. At least daily.

They can also be external, meaning they point from one website to an entirely different website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When search engines judge how good a website is, one of the metrics they look at is how many other websites are talking about them, like through a backlink. <strong>A backlink is sort of like a &#8220;recommendation&#8221;<\/strong> in the search engine&#8217;s eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are also &#8220;nofollow&#8221; and &#8220;dofollow&#8221; backlinks.<\/strong> A nofollow backlink tells the search engine to NOT count it as a recommendation. A dofollow tells the search engine to DO count it as a backlink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s debatable how much each of those count in the search ranking algorithm<\/strong>, and we may never have an answer. Many SEOptimizers don&#8217;t believe nofollow links are worth anything, while some do. Even the validity of dofollow links is under scrutiny these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most, if not all, <strong>social media websites are nofollow<\/strong> when linking to a website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Social Signals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A social signal would be something like a like or retweet on a Twitter,<\/strong> a like or share onFacebook, and maybe even replies or comments (respectively). As the search engines don&#8217;t like to tell us everything they count (so that we can&#8217;t abuse the system), it&#8217;s hard to know what is what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It is theorized that all of these interactions and engagements help with SEO.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if they don&#8217;t, social media has it&#8217;s own merits when it comes to internet marketing. <strong>You need to be taking care of your brand&#8217;s social media<\/strong> whether it helps your SEO or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sharing your content is a great place to start.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I said earlier, sharing your content on social media is not the end of the list of things to do with your accounts, but it is the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll talk more about content marketing in the future, but <strong>any time you post a blog post, you should share it<\/strong> on your social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Any events you have, you want to post them, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There are a few sites and apps you should be posting on regularly.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll get more into how to use each specific website and app later, but right now we just need to get started with a few:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Facebook page<\/li><li>Twitter<\/li><li>Instagram<\/li><li>Snapchat<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>These are a few important social media accounts you should have.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One key thing to note is that you shouldn&#8217;t have more than you can handle to post on, but definitely the more the better. If you only have time to post to a Facebook page, then build that up as your main social media. You&#8217;ll miss out on opportunities on Twitter, Instagram, etc, but <strong>it&#8217;s better to have one or two accounts running well than a bunch of accounts running poorly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It&#8217;s important to know and understand the strengths of each platform.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook has different strengths than Twitter and Instagram, and Snapchat is its own beast altogether. <strong>Building a guide for each platform will need to be their own things<\/strong>, which will be done in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, let&#8217;s take a look at one single tenet: <strong>visually appealing posts have a far higher click rate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram is focused on images and video, and doesn&#8217;t even offer another option, so no matter what you&#8217;re hitting that mark there.&nbsp;Snapchat&#8217;s the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>But, Twitter and Facebook pages both have the options to only post text. Do not do that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>What you want to do is <strong>accompany any text and links with an image<\/strong>, or video if possible. Gifs (silent, moving images) particularly catch people&#8217;s eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any time your posting something with text and a link, make sure you include a relevant image. <strong>Simply text and a link get lost in the shuffle<\/strong> of everything else people see. An image will help with that a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s all we&#8217;ve got for social media today. In the future we&#8217;ll dive deep into some different platforms and plan out how to use them for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aibd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/food_photo.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aibd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/food_photo.jpg\" alt=\"Social Media Marketing for Building Designers\" class=\"wp-image-347\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Until then, here&#8217;s some homework:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Set up your social media accounts.<\/strong> At least Facebook page, Twitter, and Instagram. Snapchat and any other platforms (like Tumblr) are optional. Once you&#8217;ve created the accounts, brand them.
